Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield believes his side’s upcoming home fixture against promotion-pushing Bolton will be ‘another tough game’.
The Chairboys are hoping to break into the top six for the first time this season with a victory over the Trotters, with the Adams Park side currently sitting seventh in the League One table.
However, the former Premier League outfit, who were eliminated in the play-off semi-finals last season, have also started the season strongly.

Finally, the 39-year-old praised the travelling fans who made the journey from Buckinghamshire to Cambridgeshire on Saturday, as Wycombe gained a point in what was a very entertaining encounter against Peterborough United.
There was also a round of applause for the late Chairboys fan, Dave Finch, who passed away last week at the age of 73.
Both sets of supporters got to their feet to remember the lifelong Wanderers supporter, and former club historian.
